Green with envy, how scary ....

I always consider that one should avoid being jealous to other people's luck . I'm not that jealousy type but I must admit it .. I'm jealous, I'm envious .. , you name it. I absolutely know, envy is one of deadly sins and good people doesn't feel envy but this time I couldn't help my self that I thought my jealousy drove me crazy. I couldn't resist it though I can't say I like the condition.
Why do sometimes world seems so unfair to us ? In my believe, always think positively and do only good things then all good and positive things will come back to you. But I started to doubt it ...
Well ... just give me some times to pull my self back, it's just part of my human nature, isn't it ? Time would heal and help to forget .. but where does the "raindrops keep falling on my head" go ? I need it so badly ... cause green with envy .. it's so scary ..

I'M YOURS - Stupid Silly Love Song !

Check this song out, not so brand new but it rocks !! I still love this song even after hearing it for hundred times.

I'm Yours (Jason Mraz)

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
My breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I've been saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours

There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

I am Black Tea

You Are Black Tea

You have a bold personality. You're not afraid of simply being yourself. You have the courage to speak the truth. You are fearless in your actions. You come off as a bit intimidating and unapproachable. Only confident people are attracted to you. You don't try to scare off anyone. You're just an intense person!

What Kind of Tea Are You?

Journey

Such a feeling's coming over me ... it's surprising though actually I can predict it before. It's like something's pushing me up and boosting a huge energy to my system.
That's what I like from "a journey" ... Finally I proved that people are right about this : "a new journey will enrich your horizon". I love my journey.

Here it comes, The Victory Day

Time flies when you're having fun,... well it is true, for me Ramadhan has always been such a great fun with all of its hustle bustle ado.
But let's welcome our victory day happily instead, since it is the day that we (suppose) to re-born in a brand new soul and spirit.
So Eid Mubarak !!! Happy Idul Fitri 1429H. Deep Apology I ask of you all, and May Allah purify our soul. Amin.

Love One Another

Love one another, but make not a bond of love
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup, but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together yet not too near together.
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

- Khalil Gibran -

Killing Me Softly

For breaking my fasting today : one huge square of Pennylane Brownies and a cup of hot green tea.

I couldn’t control myself when I come face to face with all kind of chocolate cakes especially this Pennylane Brownies from 18 Cakes and Cookies Favorite book.
To my taste this is the most original brownies recipe I’ve ever made that could satisfy my sweet tooth. My perception about brownies is that it should be crisp and dry on the outside but still moist and chewy inside. And I got them all exactly from this killer brownies.
So yummy yet so satisfying, but why oh why every pleasure should bring their own consequences, … be ready to expand your jelly belly (sigh ……).
But we all only live once then why should be so worry. Me … ? I would just sip my hot green tea and chew my huge brownie square passionately bite by bite, cause I hate to see my brownies go shabby.

Ramadhan Joy

Ramadhan is now crawling to its end. For most of moslems, fasting month has always been such a bless that it should be a moment of re-purifying our mind and soul.
This is also a season of frenzy eating and feasting on so much sweet food that could make our blood sugar level jump uncontrollably (and we haven’t got into Idul Fitri yet that usually provides us a legitimate excuse to our greediness on high calorie cakes, pastries, and cookies, not to mention ketupat, rendang, and opor ayam).

Ok, let’s simply forget about all those jumping blood sugar level, trigliceride and cholesterol level. For me, ramadhan means an increasing of my kitchen temperature meaning that I would drown in baking festive and joy.
This year ramadhan brings my diligence (I thought I saw someone’s frowning ...) back so I could come to contact with my cookie baking sheet.

I’ve been asked fequently why I didn’t try to commersialized all those cookies and cakes produced from my old standing gas stove. There are hundred of reasons I could bring up. The most logic one is that I couldn’t stick it out with my lack of confidence on what people will say about my taste represented by those cookie I made. And this will refer to my hard-to-define taste about food in common.

My perception about delicious is sometimes absurd that I only cathegorized food in two cathegories, they are delicious; and they’re damn so goood …….. See what I mean ?!! (And there will be thousands of people who would stand on opposite me)
At one time I could be very cheap tasted enjoying this very chewy cireng fried in the blacken oil (a.k.a minyak jelantah), and the other time my taste could be so refine that I could make comments on food as though I am as expert as Mr. Bondan Winarno.

Inspite of my absurd taste I mentioned above, at least let me try to be a little bit being generous to post all my ramadhan cookies recipe in here (most of them are from NCC).
Since there are some complaints about my english version recipes then here they are in Indonesian (honestly, it relieved me though), feel free to copy them.
And may I try to offer myself as your assistant in the kitchen ? Believe me, I could be a very good team player and I mean it. It's all about for the love of baking as Riana says. Happy Baking.

Sugarcraft Cookies

I wouldn't describe myself as a very persistent person (woman). Then I was a little bit suprised to see that finally I can finish on what I call "only in my dream baking project". Actually it was not the first time I made these cookies, I once made them for my eldest daughter's souvenir on her last birthday. But for now, I dedicated all my competency and my not-so artistic feeling in decorating them thoroughly.
The cookie itself was rather a piece of cake if I may say that. But doing the decorating paid me some hot plaster (a.k.a. koyo panas) all over my back, though I admit that I almost satisfied with this project.
I'm not that health freak but using food coloring that had been certified by FDA, BPOM, and Ministary of Health Department would be my one and only unhaggling requirement. Here is the recipe. I used Ruri's royal icing recipe (thanks Ruri, rest in peace and may Allah have mercy on you).


WHITE COOKIES

Ingredients :
150 gram salted butter
150 gram margarine
350 gram flour
2 egg yolks
25 gram cornstarch
25 gram fullcream milk powder
150 gram powdered sugar
1/2 sdt vanilla paste

How to :
1. Preheat the oven at 150 degree celcius, lightly grease cookie baking sheet with butter
2. Mix butter, margarine and powdered sugar together with wooden spatula
3. Beat the mix butter until fluffy
4. Beat in egg yolks, add vanilla paste. Beat well
5. Mix together milk powdered, corn starch, and flour. Fold in this mix flour into the butter dough. Blend well until the dough come together.
6. Roll the dough at desired thickness between two cookie sheet and cut into desired shapes using cookie cutter.
7. Bake in the oven until set (cookies will turn yellowish). Cool them in rack.

Royal Icing

Ingredients :
1 egg white
250 gr icing sugar
2 - 3 tbsp lemon juice
Food coloring as desired

How to :
1. Beat egg white until thick and fluffy.
2. Add icing sugar gradually, beat well.
3. Add in the lemon juice, beat well.
4. Divide this icing mix into several bowls, add each bowl with several drops of coloring, mix well.
5. Put each colored icing sugar directly into plastic piping bag cause they easily get dry.
6. Royal icing is ready to use.
Happy decorating. Don't forget to bake the decorated cookie in a very low heat oven just to dried up the royal icing (also to kill the germs/bacteria from the egg white)



Tips :
- We may prepare the cookie several days before doing the decorating. just put cookie in air tight jar.
- When starting to decorate cookie, cut the edge of piping bag in tiny hole to avoid the icing get spill up over the cookie.

... and the curse couldn't be broken yet.

We name it bolu kukus, it's a kind of cup cake in steam version with soft, light, and sweet taste. The truly steamed cup cake should form some 'petal' (usually 3 petals sometimes could be 4) on its top or should 'laugh out loud' marked that it successfully made.
If you can't make them 'laugh', then your bolu kukus doesn't pass general bolu kukus qualification. Try to make the other ones, and if they still curl up their mouth, you get "the curse of bolu kukus" then.
Don't worry cause you're not alone, I'm with you. At least until yesterday I still couldn't break that curse. See this picture of my bolu kukus below.
They're just 'grinned' instead of smile, not to mention laugh. I think I know what I did wrong with them, so will try again within this week. Please God, I beg You ...help me beat this curse .....

Minimalis Chocolate Cup Cakes

I made these cupcakes for the simple celebration of my second daughter's birthday at her school. At first I tried to use Oreo Cup Cakes recipe from Dapur Amatir but then I changed my mind because it took too many oreo to make the dough (also because I was protested by my girls while I crushed out what they call "our oreo inventory"). Then I tried this simple recipe and thank God it worked. It almost tasted just like Brownies. I never took cake decorating course before so making this simple butter cream swirl on the top of the cuppies really wiped me out (I make the butter cream from Eisella + White Shortening + Sweetened Condensed Milk)


CHOCO CUP CAKES

Spectacular Fireworks

This was the title of a fireworks event in order to celebrate Indonesia Independence Day held in my house complex by the developer. The organizer claimed that it was the first most spectacular and biggest fireworks event has ever held in Indonesia. From its first publication I promised those angels to spare some time to watch it. The location was near enough to be reached by walk from my carport but we assumed that the show would last after midnight so we decided to go to the location by car (think that the girls couldn't stay up along the night so we prepared some food, a mattress, some pillows, and off course their treasure bolsters; they're all crazy about bolster). The show was spectacular indeed, especially for me that I held my breath most of the time during the show.
In my sight, I could see many images flashing up in the dark sky. At some moment I thought I saw images of birds, butterflies, and even constellation.



Couldn't describe it in words, these are some more pictures I could take with my old pocket camera (It was the second time I pitied myself for not having a high resolution camera).

Indonesian Mud Cake (Kue Lumpur)

If American has Mississippi Mud cake, then Indonesian has our own mud cake. This is not my too favorite traditional cake actually. For me the taste is nice but boring. Don't know why they called it that way (maybe originally the texture of the center cake should be still a little bit creamy like mud ??)
I made them last night, only to try the new mud cake mould I bought at Pasar Beringharjo, Yogyakarta. And also because they're quite simple to make although still having trouble with my new stand mixer.
The result is quite satisfying though I couldn't take another one to eat,... one mud cake is enough for me, two would be too much.

Yogyakarta - Surakarta, The Never Ending Story (1)

My favorite kind of trip is cultural trip and the best cultural trip for me would mean visiting these two cities in Central Java. The atmosphere and ambience of these two cities are always enchanted and charming for me. This is a footnote of my last journey to both cities.

Friday, August 1st, 2008

We skipped a farewell party in my office and went to Bandara Soekarno Hatta in hurry to avoid being trapped in - Friday afternoon as usual - traffic jam. The departure was smooth (we took Mandala Airline FN. RI 342) and arrived in Bandara Adi Sucipto, on 20:25. Riding on a Mitsubishi L-300, we drove along the road to an area outside Jogja known as Dusun Code, Bantul to have our dinner at the famous bakmi Mbah Mo.
This was completely new to me that I couldn’t close my eyes (also because all of us were extremely hungry and the imagination of having your dinner in an ex-cow shed that become an icon in Jogja culinary world was tickling my brain).
I ordered a plate of bakmi godog polos (a portion of noodle boiled in chicken broth with duck egg and some sliced cabbage) and teh jahe panas (hot ginger tea served with crystalized sugar).
Being honest, I couldn’t really enjoy my dish since the stinking smell of the duck egg was very strong (I am not that kind of egg eater) but a glass of ginger tea surely refreshed me. It took twice tooth-brushing to wipe off the scent of duck eggs from my throat.


From Bakmi Mbah Mo we back to Jogja to our hotel in Pakualaman area. I wouldn’t recommend this jasmine hotel, the room was awful (though I slept like a baby that night) but the most disturbing thing was that the waterheater didn’t work at all.

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

We had toast, a portion of butter and jam, and a boiled egg (again... sigh) with hot sweet tea for our breakfast in the morning.
Then we took a local tricycle carriage (a.k.a becak) from our hotel to start our exploration in the legend Malioboro Street.

Tips No. 1 : Always bargain, bargain, and bargain !!! (Excuse me, don’t ask me to do so, I’m the worst bargainer myself).
Tips No. 2 : Don’t start conversation with local people in Javanese if you don’t speak Javanese at all. You may blink confused and speechless.

I found many street food stall selling local traditional food from nasi gudeg to soto ayam as we strolled along our way to Malioboro.
We stopped at the back part of Pasar Beringharjo. I always love the ambience of a traditional market and I couldn’t believe my eyes as I found some mud cake (a.k.a Kue Lumpur) moulds/(pans ?) sold Rp 15.000,- each. And hey, I could do the bargain !!! I paid only Rp 22.000,- for two mud cake moulds…. I was happy and so was the old guy who sell the moulds.


You will find lots of batik apparel sold in this market but do check the fabrics and the sewing quality. Sometimes with the same price offered you’ll find different quality of fabrics and again, do bargain. I bought some square cut grilled glutinous rice (a.k.a ketan bakar) with a very rich young coconut shredded taste, so yummy instead of its incredibly cheap price.

Couldn’t find what I was looking for in Mirota shop, but still grabbed some batik printed kitchen mitts (too pity there was no batik apron in this shop) and some batik printed small bags for souvenir. The scent of javanese traditional aromatherapy brought tears to my eyes and I sneezed over and over again, hatsyiiii …..

From Mirota we took becak to what they called the real Dagadu t-shirt center., not too interesting exactly, then with the same becak we went to Wijilan to have nasi gudeg for our brunch. We decided to try the famous Nasi Gudeg Bu Lies. It tasted nice but the rawit chilli didn’t satisfy a chilli craver like me.


We stopped by for a while in a little shop inside an aisle to buy bakpia pathuk No. 25 (don't know exactly why they use several numbers like that for their brand) which was tasted delicious but the green bean filling was not as tender as the one given by a friend of mine before. It was almost noon when we reach our hotel to check out, and there it was a rented KIA Travello that would take us to Solo this afternoon.

Glossary :

• Nasi gudeg = sweet taste complete dish made from young jackfruit boiled for several hours with lots of palm sugar, coconut milk, and spices include garlic, shallot, candlenut, coriander seed, galangal, and bay leaves served with white rice, opor ayam , hard-boiled egg, tofu and/or tempe bacem, and sambal goreng krecek
• Opor ayam = chicken boiled in thick yellow coconut milk with some grinded spices incl. turmeric, shallot, garlic, coriander seeds, peppercorn, candlenut, lime leaves, and galangal.
• Sambal goreng krecek = a stew crispy beef skins cooked in deep reddish sauce.
• Soto Ayam = a yellow spicy chicken soup served with vermicelli, slices of boiled egg, ripe tomato, fried potato chips, and emping
• Emping = traditional fried crisps made from the nut of melinjo tree

Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head

"You can't get everything you want in this life", and "Everyone has their own problems". I strictly hold on to these wise words whenever I feel low. And after that, just to keep me sane and to get my mood back, I simply sing this song (it's one of my favorite song ever).

Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turnin’ red
Cryin’s not for me
‘Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain by complainin’
Because I’m free ... Nothin’s worryin’ me ....

Totto Chan, The Little Girl at The Window

This is a non fiction story written by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi telling about her childhood as a girl who called Totto Chan. I often read books on how to raise children but I must admit that this book was giving me the biggest inspiration. Although I'm not agree with all of the methods used by the headmaster Sosaku Kobayashi (the idea of swimming together nakedly still couldn't get into my brain), but I do believe that giving our children positives encouragements simultanously will do many good things to them. Now I try to spare more time for my girls especially before bed time just to hold and hug them and whisper that "magic words", the magic words that Sosaku Kobayashi used to say to Totto Chan. These magic words always sound like this : "You are a good girl, a very good girl", or "Do you know that you're a very good girl ?", or "Have I told you that you're a very good girl ?" .. etc etc.. something sounds like that. The effects are wonderful (or maybe basically my girls are good indeed ? I don't know but it sure did no harm at all, just try it. And try to read the book first, once you read it you couldn't put it down until you finished it, trust me ....

Don't Waste Your Time Judging People

Lord The Almighty, please always make me a sincere and wide hearted person. The one who can always see anything or anyone from the good side not from the bad side. And please Lord, always pouring me and my family with much of your loves and protection. Amin.

Guilty Pleasure

I do enjoy my daily routine, my work, my struggling with those angels (I mean in a very nice and enjoyable way, you know) and lit the burner of my standing gas stove up.
Until a couple days ago, a best friend of mine offered me a very very intersting idea, “We are going to Central Java to visit Jogja and Solo on this weekend, will you come with us ?”.

What … ?? In a blink of an eye I said, “Off course I’ll come with you all. Count me in, baby !!”. Yuhuuuu…, I drowned with excitement, I felt like it was almost a century ago since I took my own vacation. Damn !! I need an escapade ... no no no actually it wasn’t an escapade, just a moment of freeing my self from monitor and keyboard, from making that sickening nasi goreng or mi goreng or toast for breakfast every morning, from changing diapers and making a bottle of milk in the middle of the night sleepily, etc etc.

Honestly, as I thought about the last daily routine above, I felt as if someone pinched my nose very hard and make me back down to earth. What about those kiddos ? Will they o.k without me on the weekend ? What about him ? Then I took a look at the calendar, it’s his Saturday office schedule.
That night I gathered all my nerves tried to ask for his permission. Guess what his answer was ? “Go ahead, dear. You need a break and you deserve it. I’ll take care of the children”. Yiiiihaa… I jumped to the sky… Jogja Solo here I come …..

When the time to depart come, I carried my back pack and step lightly indeed. I did enjoy our trip very much. Maybe I’ll write it down later in this blog. As we strolled along the ways during our journey between Jakarta – Jogja and Jogja – Solo, I felt as though I’ve been charging my energy. But still in several times I judged my self for being such a lousy mother. How could I leave those girls while here I am enjoying this and that. What about them ? Are they eat properly ? Do they sleep tight and peacefully ?
I made a promise to myself that I will look for some moments to give them some enjoyment like this. Write it down, write it down ….. Don’t break your promise …..
What a guilty pleasure !!

The Chocolate Oracle

What Your Taste in Chocolate Says About You

You are sophisticated, modern, and high class. Your taste is refined, but you are not picky. You are often the first to try something new. You are friendly, witty, and likable. You charm is overwhelming. People are enchanted by you. You have a comeback for anything. Because of this, you seem flippant at times. You love to be the center of attention. You enjoy entertaining your friends. You feel lost when no one is interested in you... You're too interesting to be ignored.

The Chocolate Oracle

That's what I got from my chocolate oracle test. Hahaha.....
Such an interesting thing, isn't it huh ?
FYI : I prefer oval shaped dark chocolate with almond filling

Count your blessings, not your sorrows

Please God, always make me a grateful person for all those blessings you've given me, and please God, bless me more with other blessings. Amin.
